The artwork, titled “Jeremiah,” was created by Marc Chagall in 1980 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France. This piece is executed in lithography on paper and belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. It measures 63 x 32.5 cm and falls within the genre of religious painting.
The artwork vividly captures a scene of intense emotion and spiritual fervor. At the center, a prominent figure, presumably Jeremiah, is depicted with outstretched hands, possibly in a gesture of supplication or prophecy. Surrounding this central figure, numerous smaller figures appear in various dynamic poses, suggesting a scene of distress or chaos. The use of bold, expressive lines and a limited color palette, characteristic of Chagall’s style, amplifies the dramatic and spiritual intensity of the scene.
